HABLA FAMILIX!

HOWDY FAM AND FRIENDS,

So here we go I have about 10 minutes to crank out 7 days worth of information in an email... SO here goes nothing!

Well we had a baptism and it was a CRAZY Miracle. We have had 8 disconfirmations (those are people who have committed to baptism, then backed out) this month in our area, and we were about to have 9... Her name is Sara and well it was Thursday we went to see how she was doing and to get her ready for her baptismal interview on Friday and she came out of her house and said, well sorry but I don’t want to get baptized and if it’s the last time you guys come by that’s ok... WHAT! We tried to talk to her and she wasn’t even budging!!! I was SO DEPRESSED! We left and my comp and I just walked to Plan B in Silence! Then Friday we had our Weekly Planning Meeting and we were talking about Sara and we said what the heck we are going to FIND HER AND BAPTIZE HERE!!! But Friday we had a bunch of interviews to do and a teenager from England got baptized named BOB JENKINS! I will explain next week but yeah so the interviews were in English so I had to do it. My comp went and worked miracles and BOOM we baptized her! VIVA! We have 3 more for this week! PLEASE PRAY FOR US! LOVE YA! BYE!
Elder McGhie

So here are some pictures that he sent of his train trip and I dont know why but he looks like a terrorist in some of the pictures cause he has a black hat on and a black scarf around his neck and his white shirt and tie on................so weird!! But he is so cute and he has less than 4 months left!!! =)

I think he spent a lot of time trying to get a picture of the train from his window....he is such a funny guy!! =)

﻿

THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS =)!!

﻿

See what I mean.............he looks sort of scary????

﻿﻿

And this one looks like he is going to throw a bombor something on the city.........good thing he is only holding the Book of Mormon!! =)

Inspirational Quotes from the emails of...Elder McGhie :)!!

"Welcome to the life of ajunior,brand new, gringocompanion!I feel likethe penguins on Madagascar sometimes,"Just smile and wave boys, just smile andwave"haha!"***********************************"...While we were waiting and waiting in the rain, I bought achocolate ice cream and sat and ate it cause I was depressed because of my stupidity, haha(helocked them out of their apt). I also bought some cookies (chocolate)...after I ate them I definitely felt better, just like in Harry Potter, chocolate can solve any problem,EVEN DEMENTORS !"*************************************So here we are in the middle of Peru, on our pday, hiking up this mountain and it was awesome! So the question is, "When you are a missionary, in the middle of Peru, hiking a giant mountain, what do you do while climbing the mountain?" Of course me and one of the other gringos in my district sang, Miley Cyrus, "ITS THE CLIMB"! Haha, I cant lie, it was so perfect and yes, sadly, I knew all the words along with the other gringos. Elder Porter from Arizona was singing with me.It was just so funny to think, "What the heck, Im in the middle of Peru hiking a mountain, now, what should I do?""I should definitely sing some Miley Cyrus right now!!" Haha!" So that was pretty awesome, we did sing it pretty well, with giant leaps and dance moves to go along with the song! Haha!******************************************************************So when they told us last week we were going to eat at The Area President House (his name is Pres. Pino) today,I laughed and said, funny joke, but they were dead serious!So today(Sunday)after Sacrament meeting Pres. Pino came down from the stand,shook my hand and pretty much starred straight into my soul and asked me…”So are you going to eat lunch at my house today?” I barely managed to get out any words and said,“umm, I think so?”Haha And,I said it with about the courage of Nevil Longbottombefore he becomes a man in the7th Harry Potter!Haha!!
